'The Da Vinci Code' and Other Random House Titles Appearing in iBookstore


As noted by 9 to 5 Mac, titles from publisher Random House have already started populating Apple's iBookstore, at least in the United States. Popular titles such as Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code that have been absent from the iBookstore since its launch nearly a year ago are now available.

Random House yesterday announced that it has adopted the agency model favored by Apple for e-Book pricing, of course leading many to assume that the publishers content would be making its way to the iBookstore.

Random House is the last of the six largest book publishers to come to the iBookstore, and it seems likely that Apple will make mention of the addition at today's media event.

Apple does it again. First all the music labels weren't on board when they launched the music store, then again with iBooks. When will these corporations learn that Apple rules the roost right now and they need to play by Apple's rules?

Don't care until pricing is significantly less that of physical books.

Well it finally happened.

I would hope to see books that are a little beyond the pure commercial taste too.

Imagine if this is all that this afternoon's event is about... :cool:

[Edit]

Come to think of it, random dots on the side of a house... and an invitation graphic revealing an iPad running iBooks*... let's face it, MacRumors readers have jumped to conclusions before on much less evidence than this!

*possibly
